Back at it after a long weekend.

Tuesday, November 12, 2013

What a weekend. The date Friday went pretty good. Actually it went well enough that we met up on Sunday to watch the Bengals and then we have plans for this Friday night. Still trying to figure out what to do on Friday though. Here is my thing, she is a pretty cool person, but not sure how much we will have in common for the long haul though. And this is the part I am not sure about mostly. She doesn’t have kids and has no desire to have them. She obviously knows I do and at least right now it doesn’t bother her. The no desire to have kids is fine with me, since I don’t want any more at this point in my life. But I guess the part that sort of struck me was how she talked about not wanting them. It makes me wonder how accepting she would be if it ever got to the point. And its one thing to say you would be accepting, but another in practice if that makes sense. And it’s not something you can really test ahead of time.

Then again maybe I am over thinking this whole thing and need to just relax and see where it leads. We did seem to have fun, and it would take time to see if there is long term potential. She is kind of a quirky person, which is neat. Definitely has some interesting views on things.

Well, I busted butt and got to my 500 minutes then took 2 days off. I think the 3 straight days with 2 of them being interval training was a little ambitious. So I think I need to make sure to take 2 days between interval workouts going forward. Not 2 days off, but 2 days of easier work. We shall see. I guess it is always a matter of tweaking it till we get it right.

We had snow this morning. And the yucky part is when it started, it was wet and then froze on the cars. Luckily it wasn’t cold enough to stick on the roads, so things were just wet and driving wasn’t an issue. I am not ready for snow. I love snow, just not yet. Plus it means the walk to the gym tonight will be freezing! I will see how this works when I leave and am soaking wet. It might mean I make the walk home in record time though.

LOL...you might want to put a cape on since you are going to be moving like Flash!

I understand your concern about the kid thing. I had the same concerns when I was dating. One thing you could do is see how she is at some sort of kid event that your kids are not at. So if the relationship gets to this point, hopefully an event will happen on her side of things, like one of her siblings having a get together where their kids are at, and see how she responds to them. I was always pretty leery about bringing my kids into the dating scene, unless I was sure about the person. However, there are plenty of folks with kids that are terrible with them, too! It may be that she has no desire to physically have a child. It's a pretty scary process.

I'm really excited though, that you've had some good dates! That's got to feel good after not meeting anyone in a while that was even worthy of a second date.

And great job on your fitness minutes...and yes, definitely...always tweaking!1374 days ago
